PHP Censor is an open-source, self-hosted continuous integration tool written in PHP language. It can be used to automate the testing and deployment of your applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install PHP Censor on NetBSD.
Before getting started, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to clone the PHP Censor repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/php-censor/php-censor.git /usr/local/php-censor
PHP Censor requires several dependencies to function properly. To install them, navigate to the cloned repo directory and run the following command:
cd /usr/local/php-censor
composer install
PHP Censor requires a database to store its configuration and build data. In this tutorial, we will be using MySQL as our database system. If you do not have MySQL installed on your server, you can install it by running the following command:
pkgin install mysql-server
Once MySQL is installed, start the MySQL server and configure it to start at boot time:
rcctl enable mysqld
rcctl start mysqld
To create a new database for PHP Censor, log in to the MySQL shell:
mysql -uroot -p
Create a new database and user for PHP Censor:
CREATE DATABASE php_censor;
GRANT ALL ON php_censor.* TO 'phpcensor'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
Exit the MySQL shell by running:
exit
To configure PHP Censor, copy the example configuration file and edit it with your database details:
cp /usr/local/php-censor/config.yml.example /usr/local/php-censor/config.yml
nano /usr/local/php-censor/config.yml
In the config.yml file, update the following sections with your MySQL database details:
db:
type: mysql
port: 3306
host: localhost
dbname: php_censor
user: phpcensor
pass: yourpassword
Save and close the config.yml file.
Finally, start PHP Censor by running the following command:
php /usr/local/php-censor/bin/init.php
You should see the following message:
PHP Censor started successfully.
You can now access PHP Censor by pointing your web browser to http://yourserverip:8080.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure PHP Censor on NetBSD to automate your testing and deployment tasks.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
